Black Bat & The Spoiler, cosplayed by Betty Felon & Ali Kay
[Boston Comic Con 2012]

At Boston Comic Con, the wonderful Nate Buchman pulled us aside from the sweltering exhibit hall to do a photoshoot in the more secluded areas of the convention center. AK and I have been wanting to cosplay Cass and Steph for a while now, and I’m still in awe that we were able to pull these costumes together before AK moved across the country. We had a great time bringing our favorite BFFs of the former DCU to life, running around the convention with our capes catching the wind.

We plan on bringing Black Bat & The Spoiler to SDCC (after a few upgrades to our costumes), so look out for us in San Diego this Summer!

Note: A super big thank you to Alex & Juli of Twin Bee, for helping us out with Black Bat’s suit and The Spoiler’s hood ♡ Aside from the boots, the rest of the costume pieces were created by me & AK.

NYCC 2011 - Saturday : the Boyfriend Wonder & I as Aquaman & Mera!

I’ll post a full convention wrap-up of New York Comic Con in the near future, but for now, here are some of my favorite shots of our OUTRAGEOUS cosplay as Aquaman and Mera :) I redesigned Mera’s classic costume into a halter dress, and created my dress, crown, and Aquaman’s shirt. I made my Mera earrings from custom-ordered gold mirrored acrylic pieces that I attached to earring posts, while I used the Wonder Woman cuff set that I got from H&M as my bracelets. After a failed attempt to make boot covers out of a white spandex that was just slightly too sheer, I ended up wearing a pair of gold shoes that I got from Forever 21 last Winter. As for our tridents, Andrew found them at a costume shop, which he painted gold.

On a side note, my goal next year (or before I wear this costume again) is to make the white boots that I originally designed to wear with this dress, and to perfect the art of balancing big hair and disco collars.

Cat civvies [lookbook] So all these Catwoman-themed posts just made me realize that I never posted this outfit that I wore at NYCC 2010! Since I had been modeling for Twin Bee on Sunday morning (hence my blissfully big hair), I opted for civvies for the rest of the day… however, I ended up channeling Selina Kyle in the process. :) black sequined bow: handmade/Betty FelonCatwoman shirt: H&MGreen Lantern power ring: FCBD 2007black liquid latex skirt: Wet Sealgold scale belt: eBayblack tights: Dorothy’s Boutiqueblack studded ankle boots: Rainbow photo: Sin/Amy ♥
